Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women’s Health (Delyth Jewell)
While Wales does not currently have specific numerical targets for reducing stillbirth and neonatal death rates, the introduction of such targets is being kept under active consideration. Whilst targets in and of themselves do not lead to improved outcomes, I fully recognise their potential value as a measure of progress. In the meantime, we continue to pursue a robust programme of quality improvement across maternity and neonatal services to deliver improved outcomes for women, families and babies.
